The declaration was created and signed by a group of individuals from various academic backgrounds and community roles who assembled for a session on Indigenous ancestral burial grounds. The declaration is a call to action, recognizing that the heritage-based rights of First Nations communities in British Columbia have for too long gone unrecognized, been neglected, violated, or ignored.
